Plan on pulling the transmission out to put a heli coil in the bell
housing. The original bolts for the slave cylinder are 3/8 x 24 . Be
careful of the length of the bolts if you are to long they will hit
the flywheel.
The reason you may have to remove the transmission is that there is
not enough space between the bellhousing and the body panels and
inner frame rail.
